Hi Jeannelou,
 JT> Dear Ruth,   I will try to get in touch with
 JT> Rachel tomorrow. Yes there is an Old America here but if you aren't
 JT> into framing, silk flowers or kits, they don't have much to offer.  I
Hopefully you were successful in talking to Rachel.  I need to either
call or write her and find out how their Thanksgiving dinner was.  We
had a good time with some friends and family that she would enjoy
hearing about.  I'll check out the OA in Tucson, hopefully it's better.
 JT> futttt!  There is however a very good store called Sweetstuff, that is
 JT> exclusively cake decorating. It is on Popp's Ferry Road.  There is
I'll have to let Rachel know about that one; I don't know how near it is
to the AF base or where she works.
 JT> also a fairly nice [though small] craft store on Pass Rd.
Sometimes the smaller ones are the nicest.  There was a little hole in
the wall one in Berlin that had supplies for just about anything I
needed.  I'd browse a bit before getting what I came for, always
discovered something new.
 JT>    I have been down in bed with a bad cold recently [well, it's an
 JT> excuse isn't it?] . Now i am up and so far behind that i am running
I understand about colds; sometimes they can get you down longer than
anything else.  Just don't try overdoing until you feel better; I
usually try to overdo in catching up, then get behind again because I
can't take it.
 JT>    Thanks for asking, we had a fairly nice Thanksgiving with temps. in
 JT> the 70s and sunny.  None of the people we asked to join us were able o
 JT> make it so Mr and Mrs Truitt  ate alone.
We were clear and cold, after a morning rain blew over.  I think we
might have gotten into the mid 60s, if that.  Had dinner at a friend's
house with their family, a friend of ours (and theirs), my sister & her
husband & 2 boys.  Plus, there were 6 cats at the house, most of whom
made their personalities known.  Hit Wal-Mart yesterday for a printer
cable and found remnants half price so got one for a sewing project.
Catch you later,
Ruth
